winter solstice

Also known as midwinter. We spent a wonderful day outside burning the huge brush pile that has grown over the past couple of years. It was the perfect day to do it, the trees were all covered in ice and the ground was covered in snow, so the chance of anything catching fire was pretty low.

It's no wonder Sadie burnt one of her paws digging in the burn pile for mice.

Looking around I spied the sauna and loved what I saw.

Mr and I took a drive on the RTV around our property.

Heading to the fruit trees they looked so neat with the icy snow on them. We had some freezing rain yesterday and this is what came from it.

The look from the road.

What a wonderful way to spend the day. I eventually went inside and finished up making my Christmas butter cookies with the last of the dough, and Mr headed to the barn to do some things that needed to get done and didn't since we had been sick, and now that we are feeling back to normal it's back at it for us.

I'm feeling really blessed this holiday season, after being so sick for a week I realize how fragile life really is and I'm going to enjoy each and every moment of my life.

Hello & Welcome To My World

My name is Judy and I'm the owner of this blog.
Thank You for visiting.
I'm a...Wife...Mom of 11...Grandma to many...Homemaker and Blogger of Finnish descent...living in a log cabin here at Gentle Hearth Farm.
I'm originally from Northeast Illinois, and my husband & I now live on 20 acres in Southwest Wisconsin up on a ridge in the Ocooch Mountains, 10 miles from the nearest town. My husband and I are empty nesters trying to figure out life after kids.
I blog, knit, quilt, bake/cook and take pictures of just about anything.
There is so much that I want to do, but there is just not enough time in the day to do everything, so I have to pick and choose, and I try to live each day in the present, life is so much nicer if you do.
